TWO of three Cuban detainees who made a habeas corpus application before the Supreme Court have been accepted for asylum into a third country.

This morning in a status hearing before Justice Carolita Bethell, attorney Roger Gomez II told the court that his clients Mauricio Valdez and Randy Rodriguez had been successful in getting asylum into a third country, which should occur at the end of the month.

However, efforts were still being made to get asylum for Pedro Verado who was interviewed just last week.

The Tribune understands that Valdez and Rodriguez are likely to be going to the USA.

DPP Vinette Graham-Allen told the court that based on the information the Crown received, it was highly likely that Valdez and Rodriguez would get repatriated to a third country but there were still formalities to be dealt with.

She agreed that Verado was interviewed last week and serious efforts were being made to find a third country for him.

Taking the information into consideration, Justice Bethell deferred the matter to September 9 for trial but added that if and when official asylum is granted, a date could be set prior to that for the habeas corpus applications to be withdrawn.

So now, those guys going to the United States will be interviewed by TV in Florida, and they will cause a bigger firestorm, further blackening the eye of the Bahamas. This two-bit government couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery. If brains were shoes, the PLP would be barefoot all the way to the knees.
